My Scrapbook Nook March kit:

Spring floated in on butterfly wings, dropping flowers where ever she
paused and landed on an ancient wooden fence in front of a cottage full
of scrap supplies, hidden away in a fairytale gloaming. Evoking all the
gentle, blowy beauty of a early spring day, this kit will enchant the
senses as you pair darling pinks and floral with charm infused, country
inspired wood grain patterns. This kit is the perfect blend of cute and
sophisticated, pairing girlish bows of twine and buttons with elegant
velvet flowers and sassy hat pins. Featuring the lovely Miss Caroline
collection by My Mind's Eye!

This week is collage week over on the Crate Paper blog. The first thing I thought of with collage was different patterns overlapping and that is what I tried to recreate in this layout. I used the Farmhouse collection and decided to focus on the yellows and blues in the line. I layered different patterned papers on tissue paper and stitched over some spots. To create more detail I used my text stamp on the base as well as on the collage. The last step was to create my photo cluster and add a few more details. I love this picture of Noé concentrating while studying for his exams. Since being diagnosed with AD it hasn't always been easy. He is so brave and works so hard!

Now what have fairies got to do with scrapbooking??? You'll see later on in this post!!! First some COLORSCONSPIRACY. I am really enjoying myself creating with this brand. I love the bold prints and colors. Very graphic and so much fun to work with. These are the latest layout and card I created using the same techniques. And just because I love making little tutorials I made one showing how I made the card. Ther is an English version and a French version. Check out the Colorsconspircacy blog and have a look at the gorgeous layouts made by my sweet friend Marinette and also the ubertalented Anna-Maria.

I am very lucky to have 4 healthy, gorgeous and extremely funny boys who brighten my life and make me very happy but sometimes I want to scrap something really girly! When I saw there was going to be another photo swap at My Scrapbook Nook I signed up and said I wanted to scrap girls. I got the most darling pictures from fellow nooker Annelie. This is my first layout for her with her daughter dressed up as a FAIRY. It couldn't have been any better. This is what I have always wanted to scrap: a sweet girl dressed up as a fairy. I can't get any girlier!!!

At last I am starting to feel better. Still a slight headache and my hearing isn't 100% but it is a vast improvement. As I have nothing special to do I decided I would play a bit with my February kit from Studio Calico. Had an idea but it didn't turn out the way I expected it to. Not sure if I like it but had fun making it!

On the My Scrapbook Nook forum we had a scraplift chain challenge. 3 teams and the first member is sent a layout to lift. This is layout is then sent to the next team member and so on. No one is allowed to show their layouts until the chain is complete. Well the challenge is still going on but some of the Dt members played along as well and those layouts have been shown so I can show you mine. I used the February kit. I really like my white backgrounds but I must say I also LOVE grey.

Don't you LOVE Valentine's day. I know I do. Hubby will be getting a handmade card and his favourite chocolates. He's not so into Valentine's but that doesn't bother me because I just love giving gifts and writing love letters so I am having fun any way. What about something fun for you. Yes!!!!!! A giveaway.

Rahel decided this was a great day to have a little blog hop and at the same time get the chance to win some of her FABULOUS stamps. What do you have to do??? Simple: Answer this question: What do you LOVE most about Valentine's day?. I'll be drawing a winner on Sunday so leave a comment before Saturday 18th.

Here's the stamp you could win and my little Valentine's project! A mini book created using two mini canvases. (for more stamps check out Rahel's Etsy shop here! ). I used this stamp on this project here!Voici le tampon que vous pourriez gagner! Je l'ai utilisé ici.

First post for today and it's about project life. I finally had some time to work a bit on it and can say I am up to date! I am really trying to keep it as easy as possible and I love putting everything together. It so me! Well, it's just my project life! So here we go. A lot of the photos lift up and underneath there's another picture or some journalling. I'm using all my stash and love all the Sassafras goodies. They are so colourful and really add that little something I love.

And hearts and probably also butterflies are elements I just love using on my layouts. This one was made using the My Scrapbook Nook February kit and the Sunday sketch at Studio Calico. I used my distress inks to make everything jump off the layout.
